Hi all,
Static (my male Jungle carpet python) had a great shed last night, and after each shed he is weighed and measured.
I wanted to share the info with you, and get feed back on whether it looks normal and healthy, he is currently being fed 1 small rat every 7 days.
His growth in length seems pretty steady and consistent, but he is really gaining a lot of weight, is that normal?
